Whats better on the new rig? I never was a competitive fishing guy, but I loved fishing out of my 02. Obviously better storage in the new rig. But what else?

**Will hedrick** · 10-31-2025, 10:58 AM

Live scope, powerpoles with brake trolling motors, pro air in live wells, lights in all the storage, cameras in the live well to keep a check on your fish, trailer steps to get in and out, a real cooler lol cause in my 02 i would fill the well with ice, 36 volt trolling system, not to mention the 8' beam, lot more stable, Cadillac seats helps the back, really just easier to fish out of

All that stuff makes sense. I fished a lot out of my 02, but I wasn't serious like a tourney guy. All my bass went back in the lake, and most of my fishing days involved naps.

But even with just a 12V troller, I could still go all day with no worries. The one tourney a bar put on by me was hilarious, because when they did the start, they did sets of three boats at a time. I was the 4th row, and halfway across the lake, I was in front of everyone. Me and my bid were laughing our asses off.

when we did the prizes at the bar later, I had just aboot everyone asking me what the hell that boat was, lol. Like I said, I'm not tourney guy, but I wonder if an 02 with a live well glasses in port/starboard lockers, and all the electrics would be doable. Definitely wouldn't have to worry aboot the HP rating.
